Here's the exchange with host Brian Kilmeade, coming around the
1:40 mark in the video:

KILMEADE: [Obama] says you want to cut firefighters and teachers,
that you don’t understand what’s going on in these communities.
What do you say to that, governor?

ROMNEY: Well, that’s a very strange
accusation. Of course, teachers and firemen and
policemen are hired at the local level and also by states. The
federal government doesn’t pay for teachers, firefighters or
policemen. So obviously that’s completely absurd. He’s
got a new idea, though. And that is to have another stimulus and
to have the federal government send money to try and bail out
cities and states. It didn’t work the first time. It certainly
wouldn’t work the second time.

Romney is off-message even among his surrogates and allies in the
Republican Party, including conservative rock star Scott
Walker, who exempted firefighters and police from
his own controversial public-sector unions law.
